The problem was that ttmkfdir segfaults when I do "service xfs restart". In
fact, it segfaults when I run it in any truetype font directory, and as
fonts.scale is missing, no ttf fonts are available.

I recreated the fonts.scale files by copying the ttf font dirs to a backup
snapshot directory from couple of days ago, chrooting there and running
ttmkfdir manually. After this, I get the ttf fonts back.

I don't know what the difference is.

but it still crashes.

gdb is not overly helpful:
